Barboursville's housing covers more ground than most towns its size, from homes in the historic district to 1960s ranches and newer houses built since 2000. Atlas Electric is a locally owned contractor led by a Master Electrician (license M2306001089), and we work on homes and commercial properties across the village.

Barboursville was platted in 1813 near where the Mud River meets the Guyandotte, and the Barboursville Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. Census figures put the median home at 1974, but that middle number hides a wide spread: about one home in eight was built before 1940, more than a fifth went up in the 1960s, and about another fifth was built in 2000 or later.
That variety matters. An older home near downtown and a newer house farther out need very different things, so we do not start with a one-size answer.
Older homes often need grounded circuits, more kitchen capacity and a panel with room to grow. 1960s and 1970s homes usually have breaker panels that have been working for 50 years or more and may be due for a look before you add load. Newer homes are often in good shape but were not built with an EV charger, hot tub or generator in mind.
We check what you have, explain it plainly and price the work before anything starts. When a panel needs replacing, we install Eaton and Schneider Electric equipment.
Barboursville is split almost exactly in half between electric heat and utility gas, according to Census data. Homes on electric heat often need panel capacity checked before a heat pump replacement. Homes with gas can be good candidates for a Kohler natural gas standby generator, which Atlas supplies and installs along with the transfer switch. If you would rather use a portable generator, we install inlets and interlock kits. See generator installation for more.
From houses in the historic district to 1960s ranches and newer homes built since 2000, Barboursville asks for a different answer on almost every street. Atlas Electric is locally owned, holds WV Contractor License WV064889 and is led by a Master Electrician (license M2306001089), and we pull the permits so the work is inspected.

Yes. About one in eight Barboursville homes was built before 1940. We regularly update wiring, add grounded circuits and replace older panels in homes like these.
